Questions about Vi Spring mattress topppers

Hi, I'd appreciate your advice on the best type of topper for the mattress we have just ordered (vi spring Devonshire medium). I am 9.5 stone and my partner 15 stone. The sales person advised us not to purchase a combination mattress given that we are both under 16 stone. I am now somewhat concerned reading the other comments on your site about the support qualities of the wool which is the main component of this mattress. Will a topper prevent degredation of the mattress or have we perhaps not selected the best for us?
The sales person was very anti mattress toppers and went so far as to say there wasn't much point in us buying a quality mattress then covering it up!
Any advice you can offer much appreciated. Many thanks, Michelle >
Hi Michelle, By combination mattress I'm assuming you're referring to split tensions of springs.
Based on your weight difference I'm not sure why they gave this advice as I would recommend that your half of the bed was on a soft spring, for your weight and your partner on a medium.
This doesn't mean the bed would feel softer for you, it just means that the spring is built to support and react to your weight.
A medium or firmer spring wont behave the same way for you and you may end up just resting on top of it!
As for the advice on toppers I completely disagree.
A topper serves a number of purposes one of which is to act as an additional comfort layer.
The next is to help protect your mattress.
It also means that if there is an degradation of the topper ie it settles you can simply replace it rather than buy an entire new mattress.
I think a goose down or wool topper would greatly help soften the top layers for you at 9 stone.
Hope that helps - Lee
